Sammi Cheng Posted A Pic Of Her Post-Gua Sha Back & It Looks Like A Rack Of Meat

Earlier this week, Hong Kong pop diva Sammi Cheng, 50, gave her followers – and us – a scare when she posted a snap of her very red and bruised back on Instagram Stories.

Entirely covered with red blotches, her back looked rather frightening and, if we must admit, resembled a rack of meat you’d see hanging at the butchery.

The seemingly bruised back was the aftermath of an intense gua sha session.

The traditional Chinese medicinal treatment, in which the skin is scraped with a massage tool, can help relieve the tight knots in the body, reduce muscle tension and improve circulation and fatigue.

And boy did Sammi need it.

The past few weeks, the star’s schedule has been gruelling.

Not only has she been jet-setting for performances and appearances, she also had to juggle promotional work for her new movie Lost Love, as well as shoots for her album.

Her schedule was so packed that she reportedly only had a 30-minute break on one of the days.

Sammi is a fan of the treatment.

She has posted about in the past, saying it’s her go-to method of relieving fatigue.

“The picture looks frightening, but within five to seven days, all your fatigue will fade away. The scraping process is a little painful, but it’s worth it… after you release the qi (energy) blockages, you will feel very refreshed,” she said.
